During the workshop, we will explore the masked characters of the Commedia Dell’Arte: Arlequin, Colombine, Dottore, Pantalon, Capitan, Zanni, Brighela. Each of these characters will be the object of a personalized work of each student. In this fixed form, in the “interior”, lies a large creative space that will be uncovered and will permit each actor to create his Arlequin, his Capitan, her Colombine…

Each day will take improvisation its special place. We will study the codes of acting specific to the Commedia and to the mask, as well as the construction of the storylines.
